The perfect introduction to the fundamentals of working with wood for those with little or no experience. This book covers all the principal skills needed to get good results, whether repairing an existing piece or building something from scratch, showing how it is possible to create all manner of pieces with a limited and inexpensive set of tools.

Each tool and its uses are discussed in detail, along with how to use them safely. Also covered are the fundamentals of using screws, nails, glue, and filler, plus common joints such as butt joints, lap joints, and housing joints. The book includes 394 photographs and 56 illustrations, and several projects to put the techniques into practice, including a table, shelf unit, bed, cabinet, and box.

Written by Alan Goodsell, a woodworker and journalist who has written extensively on woodworking and tools for magazines including Woodturning, The Router, and Furniture and Cabinetmaking.
